Chiropractic Treatments in Houston

Marshall Back and Body Wellness Center offers a robust range of chiropractic treatments, led by Drs. Ginger Marshall, MaryBeth Asenime, and Thelma Cockrell.

Two of the most common problem areas for Houston chiropractic patients are back and neck pain, which can be caused by spinal alignment, muscle issues, nerves, or disc alignment. After performing a variety of tests, a treatment plan is determined.

Spinal chiropractic issues are usually treated with a form of spinal adjustment, manipulation, and re-alignment.

“Every patient is different,” said Dr. MaryBeth Asenime. “Based on the conditions, we evaluate the patient and determine the severity of the case.”

For muscle issues, physical therapy can be the answer.

“Our in-house physical therapy works to restore flexibility, mobility, and range of motion for our patients,” said Dr. Asenime.

Houston chiropractic patients can often attribute back and neck pain to causes such as an ill-fitting bed, poor sleeping habits, too much sitting, or incorrect form while exercising.

If a patient’s pain is acute, it may be necessary to have chiropractic treatments daily for up to a week to make life more tolerable. For others, after their issue has been addressed, Dr. Asenime. recommends a maintenance program of coming in month to ensure that the pain stays away.

“Patients continually need to be readjusted and realigned to avoid further problems,” she said. “We compare it to people getting their braces off, to keep your teeth looking perfect, you need to wear a retainer.”

Patients seeking chiropractors in the Houston area complain about a variety of issues, including pain in the back, neck, shoulders, wrists, plantar fascitis of the foot, jumper’s knee, runner’s knee, lateral (tennis elbow) or medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow), and sprained or strained ankles.
